Any custom bolt action that feeds 6 BR-?

I ask this as I had a 7mm BR that fed like slick glass on a Model 7 Rem.

Heard about the mag box conversion on the 700, but want to know if current custom bolts will reliably feed out of the magazine w/o any mods? Considering a 6 or 6.5BR, or may skip them and just go 6.5x47 L. Paper to deer so any will do I reckon to the ranges I intend to use, the last I would punch an elk with a good bullet w/o hesitation, but expect few future trips.
 
Chris would that be a 308 length action/Tikka?

Songdog....my model 7 fed stock, save an old style 700 follower, did some 6brs through mag/action but seemed to bobble a time or three. My 75 Sako feeds 6br -gun 260, but it won't extract....interesting.

?'s out to BAT, Borden, and Stolle...one reply. Be nice to have a true BR length action and feed as a repeater.....not a TUBB type shooter, do shoot well though, seen a 6XC at the range, inch groups/200 yds, peep sights.....good enough for me!
